24. Final Federal TANF Regulations Give States Broad Program And Spending Flexibilit HHS’s final TANF regulations, published in the federal Register on April 12, 1999, For example, some are aiding those with special needs who cannot http://www.welfarelaw.org/contents/finaltanf.htm

Final Federal TANF Regulations Give States Broad Program and Spending Flexibility - States Face Critical Choices on How to Serve Needy Families From June 1999 Welfare News HHS’s final TANF regulations, published in the Federal Register on April 12, 1999, give states "extraordinary flexibility," in HHS’s words, to spend federal TANF and state maintenance of effort (MOE) funds on a broad array of programs far beyond traditional cash welfare programs, as long as they are designed to accomplish the purposes of TANF. The final regulations differ significantly from the proposed regulations in ways that promote rather than curtail state discretion. In addition, drastic cash assistance caseload declines have meant that most states have significant amounts of unspent federal TANF funds. As a result, states now have a remarkable opportunity to adopt programs that respond to the varied needs of low income families - whether they be working families, families seeking education and training to prepare for employment, or families unable to find or maintain paid employment. With this discretion comes the challenge of assuring that funding is indeed targeted in ways that effectively address families’ needs and that spending is fairly directed to low income families in various situations, including those in deepest poverty. Members of the low income community and their allies in the human needs community also face the challenge of educating state policymakers about community needs, securing a voice in the decision-making process, and understanding and monitoring how states spend their federal TANF and state funds.

In addition, the special education division offers a due process procedure to parents who have concerns about the services offered to their children. Under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, Vermont is required to identify and evaluate students who have disabilities and to offer them individualized education programs (IEP) for special education and related services. Decisions regarding the services that are included in an IEP are made by a team using a process specified in the law. An IEP team includes a student’s classroom teacher, special educator, parent(s) and a representative of the school district who is empowered to commit resources such as staff time or funding. By law, schools are required to carry out provisions outlined in a student's IEP. Find information about the following: Special Education Forms (Updated 9/23/05)

The U.S. Small Business Administration's Small Business Startup Kit REGULATIONS Government Regulations and Your Business It may be inconceivable to you that your home­based consulting service or handknit sweater business would have to comply with any of the numerous local, state and federal regulations, but in all likelihood it will. Avoid the temptation to ignore regulatory details. Doing so may avert some red tape in the short term, but could be an obstacle as your business grows. Taking the time to research the applicable regulations is as important as knowing your market. Below is a checklist of the most common requirements that affect small businesses, but it is by no means exhaustive. Bear in mind that regulations vary by industry. If you're in the food service business, for example, you will have to deal with the health department. If you use chemical solvents, you will have environmental compliance to meet. Carefully investigate the regulations that affect your industry. Being out of compliance could leave you unprotected legally, lead to expensive penalties, and jeopardize your business. Business Licenses There are many types of licenses. You need one to operate legally almost everywhere. If the business is located within an incorporated city limits, a license must be obtained from the city; if outside the city limits, then from the county.

32. Services In School For Children With Special Needs: What Parents Need To Know - Describes how parents can advocate for children with special needs to receive are guaranteed rights to services in school under federal and state laws. http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/83.htm

S ERVICES IN S CHOOL FOR C HILDREN W ITH S PECIAL N EEDS: W HAT P ARENTS N EED TO K NOW No. 83 Some children experience difficulties in school, ranging from problems with concentration, learning, language, and perception to problems with behavior and/or making and keeping friends. These difficulties may be due to one or more of the following: physical disorders, psychiatric disorders, emotional problems, behavioral problems, and learning disorders (or disabilities). These children with special needs are usually entitled to receive special services or accommodations through the public schools. Federal law mandates that every child will receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. It also entitles children with special needs to receive extra services. To support their ability to learn in school, three Federal laws apply to children with special needs: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (1975) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of l973 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (l990). Between states, there are different criteria for eligibility, services available, procedures for implementing the Federal laws, and procedural safeguards. It is important for parents to be aware of these laws and regulations in their particular area.

Functional Settings, Regulations and Responsibilities for Assistive Technology Determining who is responsible for Assistive Technology and its Related Services has been well spelled out in federal legislation The federal regulations emphasize evaluation, selection, and training in the functional settings a person operates in every day. Responsibility for providing assistive technology in a particular functional setting is determined by federal regulations and definitions. Assistive Technology and Special Education The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), P.L. 101-476 (formerly known as P.L. 94-142) mandates a free and appropriate education for children and youth with disabilities. The guidelines require that an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) be developed for all children who are enrolled in a special education program. In terms of assistive technology, the PPT is required to give consideration to those assistive technologies which would help the student reach his or her educational, social, and individual goals. Within the IEP, assistive technology recommendations may appear in a list of specific accommodations which need to be made in order for the student to function in the least restrictive environment (LRE), or they may appear as part of the student's annual academic, transitional, or related services goals and short term objectives. In 1990 the Office of Special Education Programs issued a statement to further explain the federal mandates as they relate to assistive technology. This statement coupled with IDEA and the Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act "legitimized technology as an educational tool for students with disabilities" signaling a shift in responsibility to educational agencies for provision of assistive technology to students as part of their special education program.

Comments on Draft Report to Congress on the Costs and Benefits of Federal Regulations July 2, 2001 John F. Morrall III Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs NEOB, Room 10235 725 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20503 RE: Draft Report to Congress on the Costs and Benefits of Federal Regulations The Children's Environmental Health Network is pleased to have the opportunity to submit comments on the Draft Report to Congress on the Costs and Benefits of Federal Regulation to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Determining the costs and benefits of federal regulations is an important and challenging process. The Network recognizes the efforts undertaken by OMB to generate an accurate report of these estimates. Thus, OMB's efforts to measure costs and benefits of Federal regulations should include consideration of how costs and benefits to children are identified and measured and assure that these are appropriately identified and assessed. This has not routinely been done by Federal agencies, including OMB. Children Are Traditionally Improperly Evaluated Children, relative to adults, tend to eat, breathe and drink more. As a result of this increased intake, children absorb a disproportionate amount of the burden of environmental toxicants. As children exist in a state of constant biological and social development, the effects of these toxicants can have truly detrimental impact on their health and general well being; both in childhood and potentially through the rest of their lives. Since children disproportionately bear the costs of these toxicants, it is with reference to their health and well being that we as a society should seek to regulate and prevent harmful exposures to toxicants.
